  • Information theoretic approach to quantization and classification for signal processing, communications, and machine learning applications

    Creator:
    Thuan Nguyen D.
    Abstract:
    There are five main contributions of this dissertation. The first contribution is new closed-form expressions for channel capacity of a new class of channel matrices. The second contribution is the discovery of the structure for optimal binary quantizer and the associated methods for finding an optimal quantizer that maximizes mutual...

  • Translating MATLAB scripts into SPMD-style parallel programs

    Creator:
    Seelam, Nagajagadeswar Reddy
    Abstract:
    In this report., we address the issues of translating MATLAB scripts into SPMD-style C programs. The resulting programs, when linked with our run-time library are suitable for execution on parallel computers. We describe the design of the compiler and improvements made to it in the current version. We also describe...

  • WebWEPP version 2.0 : Web-based water erosion prediction project

    Creator:
    Gyu Han, Hong
    Abstract:
    The WEPP (Water Erosion Prediction Project) application computes soil loss and sediment yield from a field based on the data on crops, management practices, and operations. In order to make WEPP, which is a Windows-based application, easily accessible, Web WEPP (Web-based WEPP) was developed by our research group. Web WEPP...

  • A pipelined baseband digital predistortion architecture for RF amplifier linearization

    Creator:
    Xu, Xiangqing
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the design of a baseband digital predistortion architecture for radio frequency (RF) amplifier linearization. Existing amplifier linearization techniques are first examined. The nonlinearity of an amplifier can be characterized as amplitude-to-amplitude distortion and amplitude-to-phase distortion. The distortion can be corrected by providing a predistorted driver signal (both...

  • Learning hierarchical decomposition rules for planning : an inductive logic programming approach

    Creator:
    Reddy, Chandrasekhara K.
    Abstract:
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning techniques have been central to automating a gamut of tasks from the mundane route planning and beer production to the ethereal image processing of space-ship images. Of all the planning techniques, hierarchical- decomposition planning has been the technique most employed in industrial-strength planners. Hierarchical-decomposition planning is...

  • The dynamic speculation and performance prediction of parallel loops

    Creator:
    Zier, David A.
    Abstract:
    General purpose computer systems have seen increased performance potential through the parallel processing capabilities of multicore processors. Yet this potential performance can only be attained through parallel applications, thus forcing software developers to rethink how everyday applications are designed. The most readily form of Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) within any...

  • Efficient decoder design for error correction codes

    Creator:
    He, Jinjin
    Abstract:
    Error correction codes (ECCs) have been widely used in communication systems and storage devices. Nowadays, the rapid development of integrated circuit technologies makes feasible the implementation of powerful ECCs such as turbo code and low-density parity-check (LDPC) code. However, these high-performance codes require complex decoding algorithms, resulting in large hardware...

  • Security protocols for linear network coding

    Creator:
    Adeli, Majid
    Abstract:
    Network coding, as the next generation of data routing protocols, enables each intermediate node in a network to process and encode its received data before forwarding it to the next nodes. Hence, the core idea in network coding is to allow a network to encode the data that is being...

  • ASIC for real time data authentication

    Creator:
    Anjum, Vaseem
    Abstract:
    Authentication is a means of developing an electronic signature that works like a written signature. It assumes that your data is publicly known but nevertheless ensures that the message is not tampered with and that you have an audit trail. This project discusses the techniques and concepts used to design...

  • Scheduling system of affine recurrence equations by means of piecewise affine timing functions

    Creator:
    Mui, Lap K.
    Abstract:
    Many systematic methods exist for mapping algorithms to processor arrays. The algorithm is usually specified as a set of recurrence equations, and the processor arrays are synthesized by finding timing and allocation functions which transform index points in the recurrences into points in a space-time domain. The problem of scheduling...
